Zoo Photos!

Here are some photos from our anniversary. We decided to bring Zebra-the-bumble-tiger along, to make these memories different from previous trips to the zoo.

We started the day with a hearty breakfast at our neighbourhood Cuban diner. Plantain and casava and cafe con leche and eggs and bacon and hot sauce....


Then we hopped onto the subway for the ride up to the Bronx.


The Children's Zoo part wasn't just a petting zoo! They had cute fennec foxes!


And a prairie dog colony! I wish I could animate photos; the food dish started with just the prairie dog on the left, then the middle one joined in, and finally a third came along! Party in the food dish!


One goat wants to be king of the castle!


Toby likes the gorillas; they are creepy to me! Luckily, bunnies hang out in the gorilla enclosure!


This was the first time we saw the polar bear do something other than pace neurotically along the wall of its enclosure!



Awwwwww, red pandas have the best faces!


I can't get over how adorable the tree kangaroos are! The mother still moves around awkwardly, but the joey has much less fear, climbing to the ends of branches and hanging by a claw! (This zoo visit, though, the young'un seemed really sleepy, and mama-roo kept sneezing and coughing. Maybe they had a virus?)

We had the whole subway car to ourselves coming home! HULLO TOBY! WHY ARE YOU SITTING SO FAR AWAY?


I'm admiring my Dr. Marten's - my current favourite pair of shoes! Hey, when no one else is in the subway car, what am I to take photos of?!
